[ninetydegrees]

THE MISSING premiered on October 2014 on BBC One and on November 15 on STARZ.


"The Missing" follows Tony, played by James Nesbitt, as a man devastated by the abduction of his young son, Oliver, during a family vacation in France. He becomes a man obsessed, unable to accept that his child may be dead and spends years searching for him. Tony's exhaustive search fractures his marriage to Emily, played by Frances O' Connor, and threatens to destroy his life. Tcheky Karyo plays Julien, the French police detective who launched the initial search for the child. Even though he is retired in the present day, he too cannot shake the small belief that the child may still be alive.

Catching Up on New Shows: Benched

[ninetydegrees]

Distinguished corporate lawyer Nina Whitley has given up everything in her climb to the top. However, when she’s hit with her ex-fiancé’s wedding announcement and learns that she hasn’t made partner at her high power firm, Nina snaps -- breaking vases and burning bridges. Now that Nina is shunned from the corporate world, the only place she can get a job is at the Public Defender’s office: home to the underfunded, understaffed, overworked, “if you can’t afford a lawyer, one will be provided…” lawyers. In addition to her new clients, Nina must learn to connect with her co-workers who include the roguish Phil, the idealist Carlos, the useless empathetic Cheryl and the dedicated intern Micah. If that didn’t sound tough enough for Nina, she’ll also be going head-to-head with her ex-fiancé, Trent, the rising star of the District Attorney’s office.
